Burien Hemlock mulch installation
Homeowner’s Issue
Burien lawns and planting beds face heavy winter rain, compacted glacial soils, steep slopes in places, and persistent shade that encourages moss and weed pressure. Many homeowners and landlords want tidy, low-maintenance beds that handle runoff from short slopes and heavy downpours without constant rework. Sun and shade patterns around properties near Seahurst Park and Lake Burien can change quickly, so mulch must control moisture yet allow air exchange for roots. Property goals often include safer walkways, better curb appeal for renters, and reduced maintenance visits while keeping practices sustainable. Hemlock mulch is a good fit for these needs: it breaks down slowly, improves soil structure over time, and helps suppress weeds when installed correctly. This guide focuses on practical steps and expectations for Burien properties using only sustainable methods like organic weed control, mulching fabric where appropriate, and green‑bin-friendly disposal.
Our Quality Service
We assess slope, soil, and sun exposure, then clear debris and hand-pull invasive growth before installing mulch to a recommended depth. We work with local rain patterns in mind, placing mulch to protect roots, reduce erosion, and promote infiltration. Benefits include improved safety, curb appeal, lower ongoing upkeep, and longer-lasting results.
What’s Included
- Site assessment and debris removal
- Hand weeding and light soil prepping
- Hemlock mulch applied at 2-3 inches depth
- Final cleanup and simple care tips

Before & After / Expectations
After installation expect immediate visual improvement and reduced surface runoff. Mulch settles over months; replenish every 1–2 years. For moss and ivy regrowth, continue light hand weeding and increase airflow by pruning shady, dense areas.
FAQs
- How long does installation take? Small beds can be done in a day; larger jobs depend on access and volume.
- Do you use chemicals? No — we use sustainable, non‑chemical practices only.
- Will mulch stop weeds forever? Mulch suppresses weeds but occasional hand weeding helps; fabric extends suppression.
- What about disposal? We offer haul-away or green‑bin composting options.
